Sternites are required to specify the ventral boundaries of v'ada dendrites. (A) Ventral views of sternites in control adult flies. Transmitted bright field (top), v'ada dendrites and sternites with bristles (middle), and traces (bottom) are shown. (B) Epithelial clones mutant for both fz and Dfz2 induce partial transformation of sternites into pleura. The dendritic fields of v'ada neurons are extended medially. We examined multiple clones in both wild type (n = 7) and fz Dfz2 (n = 5) and found consistent results. Note that in both the control and transformed cases, the ventral boundaries of v'ada dendrites are established on the periphery of sternites. Arrowheads indicate the ventral midline. Bar, 100 µm.
